Re: Postcard From Maine 19, Howe pony truss railroad bridge (former location)

Here's the bridge in it's original location on a B&M branch line in Gorham, NH. The span burned in 2003 and the iron parts saved by the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges. The bridge was rebuilt in Ohio by engineering students at Case Western University. After a few years of stress testing, the bridge was shipped (in kit form) to Maine in 2017.
